Old proposed logos
editI disagree with the result of Special:PermanentLink/18325457#Images. There are many old files, originally uploaded without an explicit license, that are kept, because they are presumed to be under GFDL, as was once everything. See Template:GFDL-presumed.

- I did the deletion on this, six years ago - as it was uncontested, and the files had no licensing information. However, these specific files also have no author information available at all and were copied by a system developer in 2002. To be under GFDL I would think someone needs to be identifiable as the creator to issue such license. — xaosflux Talk 18:10, 21 December 2024 (UTC)
- All three were added to Logo suggestions by Magnus Manske with a note (from Magnus Manske). I will leave it to others to judge whether this is a sufficient claim to authorship by Manske. Janhrach (talk) 18:19, 21 December 2024 (UTC)
- All three have no author information in their metadata, their logs literally read, "
2002-10-10T00:11:36 . . imported>(Automated conversion) 132 × 134 (8,189 bytes)
". If Magnus would like to claim ownership and declare their license, I'd certainly speedily restore to assist in that process. I don't think that simply using a file on a page is sufficient to determine ownership. — xaosflux Talk 18:39, 21 December 2024 (UTC)- Also, what is the policy regarding the use of {{proposed logo}}? Janhrach (talk) 18:40, 21 December 2024 (UTC)
- I don't think there is any specific policy there, it is possible certain non-free files may be permitted to be uploaded here - for example if a chapter or thematic organization were working on a logo that wasn't going to be made free use. That specific template appears to apply to files that would be non-free and where WMF itself was the copyright holder. — xaosflux Talk 21:04, 21 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you. I asked about policy because I saw the template used, e.g., in File:Newlogo5.png. Janhrach (talk) 18:21, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
